Aonyx species + Lutrogale perspicillata --- > Genus Lutra
editAccording to the last revision (Version 1.10, December 3rd 2023), all the species of Aonyx (A. capensis, A. cinereus and A. congicus) as well as the sole as the only extant member of the genus Lutrogale (L. perspicillata) are moving/were moved to the genus Lutra[1].Gimly24 (talk) 15:58, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- With a further check in the source this change is based on one, not yet peer reviewed article. The conlusions are based on genetic studies, valuable in itself, but no fossil data are taken into account. We need to wait how this revision is received by the wider specialist community before doing anything about the Wikipedia article I think. There are other researche results pointing in another direction. Laplandgerard (talk) 15:07, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
